Applications now accepted

Dates
and Details:

The 27th Annual Gibbs Conference on Biothermodynamics will be
held
October 5-8, 2013. The conference will focus on the energetics,
dynamics, and interactions of biological macromolecules. As always,
we expect
a great meeting and welcome your active participation.

At least half of the scheduled talks will be selected from
submitted abstracts and presented by students or postdocs.

Please use
the
application form link in the left-hand frame to apply for the
conference.Abstracts and
initial applications are due by July 1, 2013.This two-step process is necessary due to
oversubscription of the conference in recent years. To
keep the conference highly
interactive, and to stay within the limitations of the SIU Touch of
Nature
Conference Center, attendance is limited to 180 participants.For labs with multiple applicants,
preference is given to students and postdocs who are submitting
abstracts.There is no strict
limit on the number of participants from a single lab, but we
encourage a
maximum of about four participants from any single lab (including
the PI).Labs interested in registering more
than this suggested maximum should contact the organizers to
determine the
registration demand for this year and to determine what arrangements
might
be possible.

After
receipt of
initial application and abstract submission, applicants will be
notified of
acceptance or wait-listing by July 22, 2013.At
that time, housing and full registration should be
completed, and payment for meals and registration will be collected.Cost for meals for the duration of
the conference is approximately $125.Registration cost is: $25 for students, $35 for Postdocs, and
$75
for faculty.Housing costs
depend on the housing option chosen at the time of registration
(range is
$12-40 per night for on-site housing).

August 12, 2013 is the deadline for receipt of all payments, and no
refunds will be issued
after this date.

Off site
housing (local
hotels) (Note: Attendees who do not wish to stay on site
should arrange their own accommodation in the Carbondale area. We recommend
that you do so as soon as possible since rooms have not been reserved for this purpose.)
